Transpector SPS Operating Manual

NOTE:

Refer to the software operating manual for more information regarding
Mass Tuning. Results using FabGuard Explorer or FabGuard with this
calibration mixture may be different than shown above due to the
programming of the ionization probability and material factors.

6.1.2.1 High Mass FC5311 Tuning Reference

The FC5311 Tuning Reference Gas option is available for adjusting peak position
for 300 AMU Transpector SPS. It is controlled via a manual valve. FC5311 Tuning
Reference Gas is a volatile liquid. It is located at the inlet of the high vacuum pump.

CAUTION

A bakeout must be performed if FC5311 Tuning
Reference Gas is sampled. Up to 24 hours of pumping
may be required to remove all trace levels.

The perfluorophenanthrene liquid in the FC5311 Tuning Reference has a high
molecular weight and a vapor pressure of 100 Pa (1 Torr) at 22°C (71.6°F). The
mass spectrum is given as mass and characteristic peak intensity in

. The

masses of abundant peaks can be used with the Tune option of FabGuard Explorer
to calibrate the mass scale, particularly for 200 AMU and 300 AMU sensors.
